Wenger: I feel like I’m facing a tribunal

ALEX FERGUSON and Roy Keane lined up yesterday in support of Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross, but Arsene Wenger is standing over his comments on Aaron Ramsey’s controversial double leg break and says he feels like he’s being put in the dock.

In an impassioned defence of his position, the Arsenal manager maintained there must always be a place for the art of tackling but added: “I stand by what I said 100%. I knew exactly what would happen the whole week, that (the reaction) was quite easy to predict.

“I am sitting here like I am in a tribunal. What do I have to defend? Is it a football game or something else? I can understand people want to be committed against us, and I have no problem with that.
